Chapter 312: Wind God's Blind Guess
The bright sunshine falls on the kingdom of wind, at this moment in the town of Clear Spring in Mondstadt, in the branch church of the West Wind Church.
Ye Li and other members of the Hall of Rebirth from Liyue were received by the bishop of the West Wind Church branch. Both sides were very polite and warm as they sat in the conference hall.
The stained glass in the beautiful conference hall was illuminated by the sunlight outside the window. Ye Li showed a plain but polite smile and said to Enlai, who was wearing the clothes of the leader of the church branch,
"I didn't expect the West Wind Church to be so generous. Mr. Enlai, please give my regards to your Archbishop Simon. I am very satisfied with your contract. I believe the gods between our two countries are also very happy about our win-win cooperation."
"Mr. Ye Li, you are too polite. You have come from afar to the Wangsheng Hall, and you did not inform us in advance. We are sorry for not hosting you well. It is our honor that you can understand and sign this contract now."
Ye Li naturally knew what the other party meant. On the surface, they were complimenting each other, but in reality, they were retreating to advance. They wanted to let them down their guard by using the seemingly good resources in the contract. The big money behind was their real goal. However, Ye Li still spoke in a friendly manner on the surface:
"Mr. Enlai, you are too kind. I heard that your church has certain customs regarding the burial of the deceased. We are here not only to expand our business but also to learn. By the way, we want to go to the cathedral to pray to the God of Wind.
In this way, our Wangsheng Hall can legitimately expand its business. I believe Mr. Enlai should have heard of the rules of our Wangsheng Hall."
"Hahaha, I have some understanding of the customs in Liyue, so I will naturally not let you follow behind closed doors. Moreover, as a loyal follower of Lord Barbatos, the God of Freedom, I naturally support outsiders worshipping the gods."
The communication between the two parties was very pleasant, and the content of the original contract was also modified to a certain extent.
Ye Li and other people in the Hall of the Dead will perform Liyue funeral services according to Mondstadt's customs. At the same time, they will prepare carriages to go to the cathedral in Mondstadt to worship the statue of the God of Wind and gain the recognition of the god, so that the subsequent practice of summoning the gods and calling back the souls will be more effective.
The West Wind Church will not interfere with the influence of the Church of the Rebirth on local funeral services. It only needs to pray for the protection of Barbatos in the name of the church.
Of course, there are still some places that cannot be touched, and everyone in the Wangsheng Hall knows this.
……
As Ye Li signed the contract with the West Wind Church, a certain wind god in the Angel's Gift Tavern also felt the familiar smell of the contract and couldn't help but sober up and said:
"Interesting. I didn't expect that the old man would open a funeral service business in Mondstadt. However, he used my power in the form of a magic circle and used the deceased's belongings to summon back the aimless earth vein spirits and send them to the border. This is really a strange method."
A smile appeared on Barbatos's lips. Now, using the alias Wendy, he sat at the table of the Angel's Gift Tavern. He drank the cider he had bought on credit. He looked curiously towards the location of Qingquan Town and saw Ye Li's figure in the breeze.
Wendy's expression froze for a moment, and he couldn't help but rub his eyes and look again. He was not confident at all, and the wind elements around him fluctuated, but he quickly controlled it and did not cause any disturbance in the tavern.
"Oh my goodness, what kind of elixir did the old man eat? Why did his aura become so strange? And why is there a familiar power? No, I have to take another look."
Barbatos became serious and did not slack off. He became extremely curious about Ye Li's appearance, but he did not put down the cider in his hand. He silently took out the remaining Mora, paid the money, and then went out, disappearing in the alley with a whoosh.
……
In the inner world, in the bamboo hut, Gui Zhong stared at the two people who had just returned from the Seven Gods Conference with an unprecedented dead fish eye, and then said to Buyer with a teasing smile:
"Buyer, you have to work harder. Your straight ball is still a little bit useful. Xiaoli has already realized something, but he is too timid to admit it. You have to seize the opportunity while you are there."
Listening to Gui Zhong's teasing but insightful suggestion, Buyer's eyes sharpened. He picked up the token placed beside the stone table, input the elemental force, opened the third screen and tuned to the scenes from the past ten days. He immediately saw the scene where a stone was in deep thought but did not grasp the key point at all.
Morax looked a little puzzled. He had a vague feeling that his son was going to be in big trouble from the conversation between Gui Zhong and Buyer. However, this kind of misfortune was not as strong as a sense of crisis. Instead, it gave people a contradictory feeling of pain and happiness, just like the feeling when he was dragged to the wedding scene by Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun and others.
Morax fell into deep thought, his expression was exactly the same as Ye Li's in the replay of the screen. Gui finally covered her face with her hands helplessly, secretly thankful for Xiao Li's help, otherwise she would have to grind this stone for a thousand years before she could get it and make it bloom.
Buyer took a deep breath and a confident smile appeared on her face. That smile formed a sharp contrast with her usual amiable self, but it gave people the feeling that she was much more lively and full of vitality.
"It's enough that the idiot realized it. As for the rest, just let it happen naturally."
Buyer was not in a hurry. She knew Ye Li's character very well. Although forcing someone to do something was effective, there had to be a limit. Moreover, she had many backup plans left, but these backup plans were to be completed on a stage in another time and space. Ye Li would have to work hard to take care of the baby over there.
……
In the second time and space, on the continent of Teyvat, in Mondstadt, in front of the fifty-meter-high wall gate.
Ye Li led everyone in the Wangsheng Hall to begin the handover with the Knights, and went to the West Wind Cathedral to pray to the God of Wind.
After praying, Ye Li let everyone in the Hall of Rebirth move freely, while he himself went to the Knights Order, holding the package and letter given to him by Yan Fei. His destination was self-evident.
As soon as he arrived at the gate of the Knights Templar, Ye Li ran into a fiery reconnaissance knight flipping through a flight regulations manual.
"Hello, Miss Knight. Is Miss Eula Lawrence in the Knights? I have something to give to her in person."
Ye Li asked everyone he met without any beating around the bush, but the first knight he asked happened to be very familiar with Youla.
Wearing a rabbit-shaped headband, the investigative knight named Amber looked up at the handsome boy holding a package in front of him with a puzzled look, and couldn't help but look him over.
Judging from his clothes, he should be from Liyue. Rounding it off, he and I are half-fellow villagers. After all, my grandfather also came to Mondstadt from Liyue.
However, the girl was still a little wary. After all, this man came for her good friend, Youla, so she had to ask him about his purpose.
Ye Li looked at the girl in deep thought in front of him with a puzzled expression. Her personality seemed different from what he saw in the game.
"Hello, stranger from Liyue. I'm the scout knight Amber. You just asked about Yula, right? Can you tell me what you want to see her about?"
Ye Li did not hide the purpose of his coming here, but he still concealed a little about Yan Fei's matter.
After communicating with the investigation knight Amber for a while and confirming the location of the Wave Knight, Ye Li walked non-stop towards the Angel's Gift Tavern. On a rooftop terrace, the wind god Barbatos, who had followed him back and forth twice, also learned of Ye Li's identity.
"It's really interesting. There are traces of time on his body, and he looks so much like the old man. Could he be his illegitimate son?"
Wendy suddenly became frivolous. The guesses and memories in his mind collided, and he immediately thought of various versions of the story. At the same time, he recalled some details of his drinking conversations with the old man over the years, trying to find answers that he could make up...ah, speculate.
On the other side, Ye Li had just arrived at the door of the Angel's Gift Tavern when he felt a gust of cold wind blowing from behind, which made him shiver. He silently looked at the God of Wind who was grinning foolishly on the rooftop somewhere. He couldn't help but shook his head, retracted his malicious speculation, and pushed the door into the tavern.
